SrFP&A vs Senior financial reporting analyst. What are your thoughts in terms of future career progress (Salary, opportunity, and etc.).
I feel like the general consensus is FP&A is always way to go.

FP&A is going to be more of a financial role, financial reporting is going to be more accounting. I’d absolutely go for FP&A but it’s up to your own preference

Not personally, friend/old coworker does it

I think the FP&A generally is expected to have more upward mobility but that's not a guarantee and it's not that Reporting will never get promoted. I think FP&A generally makes slightly more but I'm not an expert.

Those are wild generalizations. Can make bank doing either IMHO.
